Whispers, Whiskey, and Wishes

The Skye O'Shea Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series, Book 2

By: Rowan Dillon

Narrated by: Lisa Larsen

When a renovation turns into a crime scene, can Skye get to the bottom of a nightmare turned murder?

County Cork, Ireland. Skye Brigid O'Shea is still struggling to fit in. Still branded an outsider in her adopted rural town, the ex-pat American strives to get her inherited B&B shipshape despite the flaky local help. But after waking with a fright from a dream her fae cat claims she borrowed, the discombobulated newcomer trips over a dead body in her pub.

Not about to head the suspect list again, the nosy former nurse chases down clues both mundane and otherworldly. But after discovering she's not the only person having others' dreams and a band of New Age neo-druids making trouble near the standing stones, Skye is only certain that this perplexing puzzle is sheer chaos.

Can she unearth the culprit before out-of-control magic, small-town secrets, and old hippies land her on the wrong side of the veil?

Really, really GREAT book!

I love the books in this series! The writing is outstanding and it makes you feel like you are there. I adore the main character and the black cat Filen ( not sure of the spelling)! The cat talks! The UK is steeped in ancient mysticism and I don't mess around with magic but the books are based in true historical spells and incantations, most done in the old Irish language or Gaelic. Such "beings" as the puka (Pooka) are in the books. Personally, I do believe that such things are real, which is why I would never mess around with magic. That doesn't matter as far as the book goes because it is a great read no matter what your beliefs are. I couldn't put it down.
